Definitions
- a motor assembly may be utilized to provide power to rotate a drill bit.
- the motor assembly includes a power section that includes a rotor rotatable within a stator to cooperate as components, more specifically, of a positive displacement type motor designed to provide the power for rotating the drill bit. Further, as the rotor rotates within the stator, the rotor rotates about its own central axis and eccentrically nutates about a central axis of the stator.
- the power output of the power section positively correlates to the eccentricity of the rotor.
- an increase in horse power includes an increase in eccentricity of the rotor, which, when combined with heavy rotor mass, causes high stress loads on the stator.
- the inside of the stator is lined with an elastomeric stator contour and the eccentric rotation of the rotor eventually leads to fatigue of elastomer due to load cycles caused by the eccentric rotation.
- the fatigue caused by the large rotating rotor is concentrated on the lower end of the power section.

- FIG. 1 illustrates an example drilling system 100 including a drilling rig 102 located at a surface 104 of a well 106.
- the drilling rig 102 includes a drilling platform 103 that is equipped with a derrick 107 to physically support the structure of the drilling rig 102, including a drill string 108 and an elevator 109 that can raise and lower the drill string 108.
- the drill string 108 includes a bottom hole assembly (“BHA”) 110 located at the lower portion of a drill pipe 112.
- BHA 110 includes a drill collar 114, a downhole motor assembly 116, and a drill bit 118.
- the drill bit 118 operates to create a borehole 120 by penetrating the surface 104 and subsurface formations 122.
- the downhole motor assembly 116 includes a power section 124 that provides power for rotating the drill bit 118, a transmission section 126 that converts the eccentric rotation (i.e., nutation about a central axis of the stator) of the rotor of the power section 124 to a concentric rotation (i.e., rotation about central axis) before reaching the drill bit 118, and a bearing section 128 that provides protection to the BHA 110 from off bottom and on bottom pressures.
- the drill collar 114 may be optionally included to add weight and stiffen the BHA 110, to transfer the added weight to the drill bit 118, and in turn, to assist the drill bit 118 in penetrating the surface 104 and subsurface formations 122.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the downhole motor assembly 116 of FIG. 1 with the power section 124, the transmission section 126, and the bearing section 128.
- the power section 124 includes a mud motor 150 that includes a stator 153 having a multi-lobed stator contour 154 and an internal passage within which a multi-lobed rotor 152 is positioned.
- the multi-lobed stator contour 154 is an elastomeric lining formed on an inner surface of a stator housing 155 of the stator 153 to define an inner surface of the stator 153 that engages with the lobes of the rotor 152.
- the mud motor 150 operates according to the Moineau principle whereby when pressurized fluid is forced into the mud motor 150 and through the series of helically shaped channels formed between the stator 153 and the rotor 152, the pressurized fluid acts against the rotor 152 causing nutation and rotation of the rotor 152 within the stator 153.
- the nutation of the rotor 152 is eccentric rotation as the rotor 152 rotates about a central axis of the rotor 152 and the central axis of the rotor 152 rotates about a central axis of the stator 153.
- the eccentric rotation of the rotor 152 is then transmitted to an adapter 156 before being transferred to a transmission 158 of the transmission section 126.
- the transmission 158 receives the eccentric rotation from the rotor 152 and converts the eccentric rotation to a concentric rotation, which is a rotation about only a center axis. The rotation is then transferred to a drive mandrel 160 of the bearing section 128 and finally to the drill bit 118.
- the stator housing 155 has an extended length such that, in some embodiments, the rotor 152 cannot couple to the transmission 158 directly.
- the adapter 156 therefore, is optionally included to provide additional length to connect the rotor 152 and the transmission 158.
- the stator housing 155 is extended because additional length of the stator housing 155 enables a greater amount of rotational drive force to pass through the rotor 152 to the transmission 158.
- the additional length and rotational drive force that might otherwise increase the rate of chunking (i.e., the breaking off of portions of a stator contour) or movement of the rotor 152 and transmission 158 in a radial direction is reduced by the inclusion of a radial support 162.
- the radial support 162 is integrally formed with the stator contour 154 and extends axially from the downhole end of the stator contour 154. As such, the radial support 162 is included at or near the downhole end of the stator housing 155 and radially between an inner wall of the stator housing 155 and the rotor 152 and adapter 156.
- the radial bearing 162 provides a physical support between the stator housing 155 and components (i.e., the adapter 156, the rotor 152, and/or the transmission 158) within the stator housing 155 to prevent direct contact between the stator housing 155 and components within the stator housing 155.
- the radial support 162 also reduces the amount of radial movement of components within the stator housing 155, thereby reducing stresses acting on the stator contour 154 and chunking of the stator contour 154 and increasing the lifespan and reliability of the stator contour 154. Further, by reducing stresses and chunking, the radial support 162 enables the stator contour 154 to withstand higher rotational forces produced by the mud motor 150.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate stages of a manufacturing process for making the stator contour 154 and radial support 162.
- FIG. 3 A illustrates a molding process in which the stator contour 154 is formed within the stator housing 155 by inserting a stator mold 165 into the stator housing 155.
- the stator mold 165 includes a surface with lobes that have the inverse shape of the lobes of the stator contour 154 that is formed.
- end caps 167 are placed on both ends of the stator housing 155 to enclose the stator mold 165 within the stator housing 155.
- an elastomer 163 is injected through a port 169 into the cavity formed between the inner surface of the stator housing 155 and the stator mold 165.
- the elastomer 163 is injected in a fluid state through the port 169 in one of the end caps 167 and fills the cavity to take the shape of the cavity.
- the elastomer 163 forms around the stator mold 165 into the shape of the stator contour 154.
- the elastomer 163 is cured to allow the elastomer 163 to harden into a solid state. Once the elastomer 163 has cured, the end caps 167 and the mold 165 are removed from the stator 153.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a flowchart 220 for the manufacture process described in FIGS. 3 A and 3B.
- the radial support may be manufactured in conjunction with the manufacture of the stator contour.
- a stator mold is inserted into the stator housing to provide the shape for the stator contour that is made in the molding process in step 222.
- the stator mold included within the stator housing has an inverse shape of the stator contour.
- end caps are placed on either end of the stator housing to enclose the stator mold within the stator housing in step 224.
- an elastomer is injected into a cavity between the stator housing and the stator mold to fill the stator housing substantially along an axial length of the stator housing in step 226.
- the elastomer is allowed to cure in step 228. Allowing the elastomer to cure may be a passive step in which the curing elastomer is left alone until it is cured. In some embodiments, allowing the elastomer to cure may be an active step in which steps are taken to reduce the curing time of the elastomer. For example, heat may be selectively added or removed from the elastomer and/or airflow may be increased around the elastomer.
- stator contour and radial support are a single piece (i.e., the stator contour and radial support are integral to one another).
- the length of the radial support may be too long after the curing process. Thus, during removal in step 226, the length of the radial support may be cut.
- the final length of the radial support may include 8 inches, 10 inches, 12 inches, 14 inches, 16 inches, 18 inches, 20 inches, 22 inches, 24 inches, 26 inches, 28 inches, 30 inches, or any length between 8 and 30 inches.
- a coating may be applied to the surface of the radial support.
- the optional coating includes a metallic or ceramic coating that is harder and/or more wear resistant that the material within the core of the radial support, which may reduce the rate of wear on the radial support. In some embodiments, this coating may be applied to a portion of the rotor that contacts the radial support in addition to or instead of being applied to the radial support. After this step, the stator contour and radial support are ready for use within a wellbore.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the connection between the power section 524 and the transmission section 526.
- the stator contour 554 is positioned between the rotor 552 and the stator housing 555 such that a fluid flow between the stator contour 554 and the rotor 552 causes the rotor 552 to rotate.
- the adapter 556 is coupled between the rotor 552 and the transmission 558 to transfer rotational forces from the rotor 552 to the transmission 558, which is positioned within a transmission housing 570.
- the stator housing 555 is coupled to the transmission housing 570 at a coupling 572, which may include a threaded connection or a welded connection.
- stator housing 555 Due in part to the length of the stator housing 555, the connection between the adapter 556 and the transmission 558 is positioned within the stator housing 555.
- the greater inner diameter of the stator housing 555 enables a connector 574 of the transmission 558 to be larger and thus have an increased torque capacity.
- utilizing a larger connector 574 also increases stresses and chunking of the downhole end of the stator contour 554.
- the increased length of the stator housing 555 also increases the area in which components within the stator housing 555 may contact the stator housing 555, causing additional damage to the components.
- the radial support 562 is positioned downhole of the stator contour 554 and radially between the stator housing 555 and components positioned within the stator housing 555. As shown in FIG. 5, during rotation of the rotor 552, the rotor 552 and the adapter 556 have moved in a radial direction and into contact with the radial support 562. Engagement with the radial support 562 supports the rotor 552 and/or adapter 556 and prevents contact with the stator housing 555. Further, the radial support 562 reduces the radial movement of the rotor 552 and the adapter 556 as the rotor 552 rotates eccentrically, thereby reducing stress and chunking.
- the radial support 562 extends from a downhole end of the stator contour 554 toward the downhole end of the stator housing 555. Although described above as integral, the radial support 562 may also be a separate piece from the stator contour 554. The radial support 562 may also be formed from the same material as the stator contour 554, and the material may include elastomers such as rubber, polymers, or metals. Alternatively, the radial support 562 may be made of a material different than the stator contour 554 and may include any material suitable to support the rotor 552 or other components.
- the stator contour 554 has a greater thickness than the radial support 562.
- the radial support 562 may include a thickness of 0.15 inches, 0.20 inches, 0.25 inches, 0.30 inches, 0.35 inches, or any length between 0.15 inches and 0.35 inches.
- the radial support 562 extends from the stator contour 554 toward the transmission housing 570, but stops short of the coupling 572 between the stator housing 555 and the transmission housing 570, thereby leaving an unsupported section between the radial support 562 and the coupling 572.
- the radial support 562 leaves no gap between the downhole end of the stator contour 554 and the coupling 572 or the radial support 562 extends from the coupling 572 and stops short of the stator contour 554, thereby leaving an unsupported section between the radial support 562 and the stator contour 554.
- FIGS. 6A through 6C illustrate a servicing process in which the radial support 662 is removed and a new radial support 662 is inserted.
- the stator 653 is disconnected from other components of the downhole motor assembly 616.
- the radial support is removed from the stator 653 and the stator housing 655 using a cutting tool, leaving behind the stator contour 654 and the stator housing 655.
- elastomer 663 is injected into the area in which the radial support is to be located.
- end caps may be utilized to block the elastomer 663 from contacting the inner surface of the stator contour 654.
- the elastomer 663 may be the same elastomer used to make the stator contour 654 or the elastomer 663 may be different from the elastomer used to make the stator contour 654.
- FIG. 7 illustrates a flowchart 700 for the servicing process described in FIGS. 6A through 6C.
- the life cycle of the radial support may be checked during a servicing and/or maintenance procedure in step 702. For example, the radial support may be inspected for signs of wear indicating replacement, or the radial support may be replaced at predetermined intervals. If it is determined that the radial support is not at an end of its useful life cycle, the radial support may be left in place in step 704.
- the radial support is removed from the stator housing while the stator contour is left intact in step 706.
- the radial support may be cut and/or machined out of the stator housing while leaving the stator contour in the stator housing.
- a new radial support is inserted into the stator housing in step 708.
- the new radial support may be a piece separate from the stator contour that fits adjacent to the stator contour.
- the new radial support is injected into the stator housing and allowed to cure. Accordingly, the radial support may be a separate piece from the stator contour.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a side partial cross section view of another embodiment of a downhole motor assembly 816 that includes an extended transmission 868 instead of the adapter 156 shown in FIG. 2.
- the extended transmission 868 has an increased length to match the length of the stator housing 855.
- the rotor 852 couples directly to the extended transmission 868.
- the stator contour 854 and radial support 862 are formed in the same manner as the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the radial support 862 is positioned downhole of the stator contour 854 and radially between the stator housing 855 and components positioned within the stator housing 855, such as the rotor 852 and/or the extended transmission 868.
- the radial support 862 provides additional support between the stator housing 855 and components positioned within the stator housing 855 and acts as a physical barrier between the stator housing 855 and components within the stator housing to prevent direct contact between the stator housing 855 and components within the stator housing 855.
- the radial support 862 also reduces the amount of radial movement of the rotor 852 and the extended transmission 868 within the stator housing 855, thereby reducing stresses and chunking and increase the lifespan and reliability of the stator contour 854 within the stator housing 855. Further, by reducing stresses acting on the stator contour 854 and chunking of the stator contour 854, the radial support 862 may enable the stator contour 854 within the stator housing 855 to withstand higher rotational forces produced by the mud motor 850. [0037] FIG. 9 illustrates a schematic view of a portion of a radial support 962 having a cooling system 980.
- temperatures may be very high, for example, higher than 140° C.
- the high temperatures may detrimentally change the physical properties of the elastomer material that form the radial bearing 962.
- Providing cooling to the radial bearing 962 may increase the durability of the radial bearing 962.
- the cooling system 980 includes ribs 982 shaped to cause and/or increase a radial flow of fluid flowing through the stator housing 955 and along a surface of the radial support 962.

- the ribs are separate from the stator contour and may be formed by a mold or by machining using a similar process as described in FIG. 4.
- the cooling system 980 may include vents 984 such as holes to introduce passages that enable a fluid to flow through at least a portion of the radial support 962.

- the sensor 988 may be positioned to measure a property on an edge of the radial support 962 or within the radial support 962.
- the sensor package 986 may also include a data storage device 990 for storing data related to physical properties measured by the sensor 986, such as a log of the measured physical property.
- the data storage device may include any device for storing data, such as non- persistent storage (e.g., volatile memory, such as random access memory, cache memory) or persistent storage (e.g., a hard disk, an optical drive such as a compact disk drive or digital versatile disk drive, or a flash memory).
- the present disclosure may be used to provide support in a stator housing by including a radial support.
- the radial support may be positioned downhole of a stator contour and between the stator housing and components contained within the stator housing, such as a rotor, an adapter, and/or a transmission.
- the radial support may prevent contact between the stator housing and components contained within the stator housing.
- the radial support may decrease the radial range of motion of components contained within the stator housing, thereby reducing stresses acting on the stator contour and chunking of the stator contour and increasing the durability and longevity of the stator contour.
- the radial support may be replaceable.
- Example 1 is a system for providing support in a downhole motor.
- the system includes a stator housing including an end, a stator contour within the stator housing, a rotor including a rotor end and lobes configured to engage with the stator contour to eccentrically rotate the rotor, and a radial support extending from the stator contour toward the end of the stator housing, and positioned radially between a rotor end of the rotor and the stator housing to support the rotor and decrease an amount of eccentric rotation of the rotor.
